Tomorrow Hit Today is the fifth studio album by Mudhoney. It was released by Reprise Records on September 22, 1998. Barely selling 11,000 copies on its release this would be the last album the band would release with Reprise as well as a major label. Although the band retains their grunge sound on the album, a noticeable garage and blues influence can be heard.
The album title is a reference to a song, “When Tomorrow Hits”, off of their eponymous debut. This is also the last album to feature bass player Matt Lukin. The album was released on CD through Reprise and on Vinyl through Superelectro Sound Recordings. The album also gained a cassette release on the Philippines. In 2018, the album was re-released on blue vinyl to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
In 2020, Tomorrow Hit Today was included in the 4CD box set Real Low Vibe: Reprise Recordings 1992-1998.
